Things To Consider Before Buying A PowerBank

Company Brand

In most cases, this is not as important but on the issue of having
power banks, the information are as important as getting yourself a car.
The first reason is that most power banks from fake or pirated
companies have caused a serious issue in Nigeria.

Last year, power banks really did an exploding tour in Nigeria, that the original companies such as Infinix, Tecno etc had to come out and list out the difference of original and fake power banks.

Power Bank Capacity

Getting to know the difference is another thing. Getting to know the
capacity of the power bank and the output is taking one bold step at a
time. This time, your money is at stake, as it can get you the wrong
one.

On any power bank, the power capacity and output is actually
the top most reason you are buying it. Any power bank, you are buying
must have least, x3 of your current phone battery and 2.1 amp output and
at least 2 amperage to charge.

A 2.1A rated power bank to get charged fast, you should also use a 2.1A rated wall charger as using a lower rated charger like a 1A rated wall charger that a usually more prevalent will be counter-productive

Portability

This has to do with the size and weight of what Power bank you are
looking for. No matter, your work condition, house condition or
whatsoever, there is no reason to get heavy weight power bank for your
device, as there is no significant reason to get it.

So in every case, it is very important, you get a portable power bank as it comes in different sizes and weight. So, when you are moving around, it doesn’t add a bit of stress to you.

USP Port Terminals

This is very important too. The number of USB each power banks come
with is another idea, when getting one for yourself. Well, it is ideal
only when you have multiple device to charge at once and also when you
are going out with friends, you might need multiple USB port to help
them charge their device.

But as the case may seem so helpful, it
also does something else. Having one, two, three USB ports on any power
banks is ideal but the issue here is that, when charging more than 1
device at a time, with more USB port, the more lesser current it emits
or produces.

Lithium Ion vs Lithium Polymer Battery

When for the Best Powerbanks that has to do with the two best battery component, the question always goes like Lithium Ion vs Lithium Polymer Battery – Differences – Which Is Better?

They
are popularly known as Li-ion or Li-Polymer in short terms. Meanwhile,
the Lithium Ion (Li-ion) had always added pounds in weight and shape
when comparing with Lithium Polymer (Li-Polymer) which famously slimmer
and lighter and every seems to love the sleek, portable stuff.

Lithium Ion: This gives high energy density, low discharge rate, no priming required before first use and overall cost is cheap. A Li-ion battery can’t be charged in a cold temperatures but in a fairly warm room temperature. There is high risk of explosion if charged too quickly or inappropriately and they suffer from aging even when not used.

Most of the battery packs go for the Li-ion as
they are cheaper. But the Lithium Polymer seems to be the best, as the
manufacturers can makes changes to the size and shape of the power banks
and can also retain its charge longer. A Li-Po Battery is also safer in
terms of usage as well.

Note that, all battery types are susceptible to different levels of risk of fire/explosion due to the inherent nature of electric current. So it is advisable to get an in-built Li-Poly battery with double overcharge and discharge protection. This is very important for regions with voltage volatility.
